  What I mean is that you don't exclude person A, because central office would prefer person B - so imagine a scenario where the local membership put forward someone who the leadership think is totally unsuitable/will cause controversy, then it is reasonable for them to pull rank. It should be the exception and not the rule though. Looks like we are going to see lots of this in the Tory party with musical chairs on selection as they all dash for safe seats.
  
  I think you're too dismissive of "getting into number 10" as that's literally the whole point. Where we are probably closer than you think is that once into number 10, you can start tacking to the left more easily. That's where you'll find some of the Corbyn style policies coming into play. But you have to get there incrementally otherwise you scare the horses.
